"What is my wife thinking about again?"
Nathaniel noticed that Mango was deeply in thought, and he couldn't help but reach out two fingers to flick her forehead. Hence, Mango immediately started protesting.
"Ouch, it hurts! Are you mistaking me for Rita?"
Mango pouted cutely as she said this, so Nathaniel wanted to kiss her right now.
Well, at this thought, Nathaniel obviously couldn't control himself.
He leaned in and planted a deep kiss on Mango's lips, and this caught her by surprise. Then, she grabbed his collar tightly as her breathing sped up.
Thus, Mango had forgotten what Nathaniel had told her about Carter because of his sudden kiss.
When they got home, the children were already asleep.
Hence, Nathaniel immediately urged Mango to take a shower. When she came from the shower, she saw that Nathaniel was staring at her deeply on the bed. Thus, she coughed lightly and said, "Ahem. I... I'm a little tired today."
Nathaniel burst into laughter the next second.
Did he scare his wife too much today?
"Come here."
He gestured towards Mango as he said this.
"No! I don't want to!"
Mango shook her head firmly as she said this. She would not budge no matter what.
After all, her body was still sore.
Nathaniel couldn't even control himself, so it was really too much for her.
Then, Nathaniel looked at her in amusement and said, "I won't touch you."
"Really?"
Mango looked at him suspiciously as she asked this.
On the other hand, Nathaniel was too lazy to answer her, so he stretched out his long arms straightaway and pulled Mango into his arms.
"No, I don't want it! Nathaniel, you can't do this!"
Mango struggled, but she heard Nathaniel chuckling before he said, "Shut up, go to sleep. You look like you still have much strength left, and maybe we can work out again now!"
These words successfully shut her up.
Then, she laid in Nathaniel's arms obediently. She thought it would be difficult for her to sleep, but she had fallen asleep almost immediately.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel looked a little glum as he listened to her even breathing.
Didn't she say she was worried?
Furthermore, she had said that she was scared.
llrghl Mango was such a good liar!
After a while, Nathaniel kissed her face and closed his eyes.
However, he couldn't sleep that whole night.
Meanwhile, Rita, Zion, and Wisdom woke up early in the morning the next day. In fact, she even came to knock on Nathaniel's door.
"Papa, mama, get up! Rise and shine! Hurry up, let's go out to play!"
Well, the children still wanted to play as they were on holiday.
After all, Rita couldn't sleep the whole night when she knew that they were heading out for a trip the next day. She would get up in the middle of the night to look at the time. However, she still felt like time was moving too slowly.
Well, this was their first family trip.
Nathaniel opened his eyes slightly, and when he fully opened them, he looked irritated. His eyes were red since someone had disturbed his sleep, and he even wanted to kick the person out of the room.
At this moment, a cold hand reached over and covered his warm hand as a gentle voice sounded at his ear.
"Is that Rita? Why did she get up so early today?"
Then, Mango yawned. Her voice sounded soft and sleepy, and it somehow calmed Nathaniel down.
After that, his vision became clear slowly.
Oh, Rita was in his room.
Wasn't Rita his precious daughter?
At this thought, Nathaniel shook his head and laughed. He then whispered to Mango, "You go back to sleep. I'll take this brat away and see if breakfast is ready."
Meanwhile, Mango was exhausted because of the events that had happened yesterday. Although Nathaniel had let her off last night, she still did not have enough sleep.
Thus, she turned over and said sleepily, "Then, go quickly. I'm so sleepy."
Then, she fell asleep in front of Nathaniel without warning.
When Nathaniel saw this, he couldn't help but laugh and get out of bed. As soon as he opened the door, he picked Rita up with one arm.
"Papa, mommy hasn't woken up yet? Wake her up now, we are leaving. Uh...”
Suddenly, Nathaniel covered Rita's chattering mouth with his palm. After that, he closed the door and took Rita away.
"Let your mommy sleep a little longer."
Nathaniel's voice was faint, but he still sounded powerful.
Then, Rita pouted and said, "Urgh! It's six o'clock already, but mommy is still sleeping. Didn't you say we were going to go on a trip."
"She'll only be sleeping for a while, so it'll be fine. Be a good child, alright? Mommy is very tired."
Meanwhile, Zion glanced over at them with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
This little brat!
Nathaniel did not bother to call Zion out, so he just turned around and put Rita down on a chair. When he saw that all his children were awake, he said, "Since you all are so energetic, you can follow me for a morning run."
"No! I don't want to!"
Rita was the first to reject.
What a joke! She didn't get up this early just to exercise with her dad!
On the other hand, Zion and Wisdom didn't really mind, so they followed Nathaniel out to run.
Before Nathaniel left, he told Rita, "Don't disturb your mommy's sleep, or I'll punish you."
"Oh man, papa, you don't love me anymore."
Suddenly, Rita felt that her father did not love her that much anymore.
In the past, Nathaniel would quickly coax his daughter if she was not happy. However, now, Nathaniel said faintly instead, "I love my wife. There's nothing wrong with that, right?"
Rita was extremely upset when she heard this.
She felt that she was not her father's favourite person anymore!
Urgh! Her father had changed.
Thus, she was very disappointed.
However, Nathaniel looked like he was not affected by Rita's tantrum. He even said to the servant beside him, "If Rita goes to disturb her mum, you all will be fired."
The corners of Rita's mouth twitched in annoyance again when she heard what Nathaniel had said.
Was he so worried about her?
On the other hand, Zion and Wisdom couldn't stand it anymore.
"Mr. Ye, why are you bullying a little girl? Don't you feel guilty?"
"Dad, you know Rita didn't mean it!"
Zion and Wisdom spoke at the same time, but Nathaniel replied calmly, "You're the ones who spoilt her."
Both Zion and Wisdom were upset when they heard this.
After all, who was the one who had allowed Rita to do as she had pleased?
